Welcome to the Cyantists website! The Cyantists and this website are dedicated to the collection and dissemination of reliable technical information about cyanide. There are nearly 200 technical publications available free of charge on this site. This independent website was originally created by the Cyantists without endorsement of industry, government or any special interest group. We want to provide a public clearinghouse for scientific information so interested parties can quickly research the many environmental aspects of cyanide in documents published by knowledgable sources.

Cyanide is used in the manufacture of many items in our daily lives, while thousands of natural sources of cyanide exist worldwide in the environment. In some form, we are exposed to cyanide every day. Although the fear of cyanide is well founded, it is often exaggerated by an ever-growing volume of misinformation. With knowledge, we can overcome the effects of this misinformation.

Over time as this Internet site is updated and expanded, a wealth of free information will be provided along with internet links, news articles, editorials, and many books and other publications. Please send us an email and let us know what else you would like to see or if you have information you'd like posted on this site.
